* IN PROCESS: digital video & prints, poetic texts
Motion is as fundamental to poetry as it is to cinema, and both mediums are put together in similar ways (through sequences of [sometimes close and sometimes seemingly disjunct] events themselves linked by sequences of conjunctions along trajectories that are arrayed through time and space) and out of similar materials (stills). The sequences (and a number of sequences of different “sets” may be underway at any given time) excite both retrospection (memory) and anticipation (logic). Since sequences (even those we call syntax) imply consequences, they also provoke concern they excite the sense that there is meaning or the desire to make meaning.
Just as there are no frozen moments, there are no motionless meanings.
Lyn Hejinian, ‘Motility’
